Insulating refractory castable

VITCAST 1200INS & Gun Mix

A very lightweight insulating refractory castable, designed for use as backup insulation in low-temperature applications. Offers excellent thermal insulation with minimal weight, helping to reduce heat loss and overall lining mass.

Examples of Applications: Typically used between the outer casing and refractory lining in boilers, flues, stacks, and other applications where a lightweight insulating layer is required.

VITCAST 1300INS & Gun Mix

A medium-weight insulating refractory castable offering an optimal balance of high strength, low density, and good thermal insulation. Designed for use in applications where both abrasion resistance and insulating performance are required at temperatures up to 1300°C.

Examples of Applications: Used in kiln floors, soaking pit side walls, sub-hearths for higher-temperature processes, and in cooler zones, flues, and stacks where a durable and thermally efficient lining is essential.
